Nissan’s iconic compact crossover, the JUKE, is now equipped with an advanced hybrid powertrain, offering efficient and responsive performance.

“Nissan’s electrified product strategy is gaining momentum and the new JUKE Hybrid represents another milestone on our strategic ambition to have fully-electrified range by 2023,” said Guillaume Cartier, Chairperson, Nissan AMIEO region.

JUKE Hybrid features a true multi-modal hybrid gearbox which prioritises efficiency, responsiveness and a harmonious drive. Drivers and passengers will appreciate its 100% electric-only start up, its engaging driveability and excellent fuel efficiency, efficient regenerative braking, and high performance battery.

Central to the objective of the new hybrid powertrain was that it must complement JUKE’s already agile and dynamic personality which has proved so popular with customers of the internal combustion engine [ICE] version.

Diving into the details of what makes JUKE Hybrid’s powertrain so distinctive, the know-how within is a testament to the combined engineering strengths found within the Alliance.

The JUKE hybrid powertrain consists of a new generation, state-of-the-art Nissan internal combustion engine specifically developed for working in a hybrid powertrain application. It produces 69kW (94hp) and 148Nm of torque.

On the electric side, Nissan-supplied the main electric motor which produces 36kW (49hp) and 205Nm of torque, while Renault provided the 15kW high voltage starter/generator, the inverter and the 1.2kWh liquid-cooled battery, as well as the highly innovative gearbox.

The net result is a powertrain providing 25% more power than the current petrol engine option, with a fuel consumption reduction of up to 40% in urban cycle, and up to 20% over the combined cycle. (Figures subject to homologation)
